Hayward was a rookie last season, with no playoffs (Utah).Maravich hit 10-15 in regular season and 2-6 in the playoffs (1980).

In regular seasons alone, Peja Stojakovich has outshot Ray Allen, .401 to .399, and he's outhit Dale Ellis, 1760-1719.But in playoffs, he's just .375; bringing his career 3pt% to .398, which trails both Allen and Ellis.

In last night's triple overtime game between Miami and Atlanta the Hawks set an NBA record.They were scoreless in the third overtime.

This is the only time in league history that a team did not score in the third OT period.

Since 1946-47 the BAA/NBA has played 72 games of 3 overtimes or more - 60 triple OT, 9 quadruple OT, 2 quintuple OTand the infamous 6 OT game. In that game neither team scored in both the second and fourth OT period but eachscored 2 points in the third OT period.

Somewhere I read that Kevin Love is the first player since Kareem in 1975 to start the season with at least 20 points and 12 rebounds in each of his first 6 games.I looked up his lines, and he's actually gone for at least 22 and 12 in each game.

Just to compare Love's stats to the best result in that category: Wilt Chamberlain in his first six games of his first NBA season has at least 30 points and 28 rebounds and such an achievement, I believe, never was repeated, even by himself.

LeBron James last night set the NBA record for most points scored on a June 17th.His 29 points topped Hakeem Olajuwon's record of 27 set in 1994.

There have been quite a few daily highs set this season - all but one in the postseason.Feb 19 - Kevin Durant - 51 pointsMay 21 - Kobe Bryant - 42 May 24 - Dwyane Wade - 41 - ties Olajuwon in 1994 and James in 2009May 30 - Rajon Rondo - 44June 2 - Kevin Durant - 36 - ties Wade in 2011June 7 - LeBron James - 45June 17 - LeBron James - 29June 19 - Russell Westbrook - 45 ties Isaiah Thomas in 1988Should the series go to six or seven games two more daily highs will be setas there have never been games played on either June 24 or June 26 althoughthere has been one on June 25. (1999).

When the season concludes I'll send the complete list of daily NBA high games to DeanL to be includedon the APBR site.

I'll guess Lou Hudson

Herm Gilliam with 34-13-13 on Feb 5, 1974 against the Capital Bullets.

Wow, Herm Gilliam. Certainly not an impossibility, but far from the first guess that one would have; MikeG's other guesses of Dominique, Doc, Josh Smith, and Sweet Lou were more probable.

Herm Gilliam was good enough that he might've had a game like that, but it's still highly surprising to discover that he actually did do it. Similar to how Willie Burton once scored 53 points in a game. Possible, yes. Probable, heck no. But it did happen.

Could be! Well no, he took 5 shots, had 13 rebounds, 3 assists.And you can get a turnover by setting an illegal pick, or otherwise fouling while your team has the ball. Andris Biedrins (GSW) seldom shoots or assists, but 36% of his "used possessions" are turnovers.

Last night's double overtime win for Miami over Sacramento, 141-129 tied therecord for largest margin of victory in a multiple OT game - 12 points.

The record was set on 4/6/85 when Houston beat Dallas, 139-127.It was tied on 3/31/92 - Golden State over Sacramento, 148-136.and tied twice within the past two months1/25/13 - Atlanta over Boston 123-111and 2/26/13 Miami over Sacramento 141-129.

It also happened once in the ABA on 11/5/69 with Carolina over Kentucky, 121-109.All five games were double OT games.

Watching the Knicks play, Steve Novak was seen faking a defender and hitting a shot -- he now has 10 unassisted baskets this year, of 152 total.In the same game, he threw a terrible pass that was picked off. He now has 10 turnovers in 1387 minutes.That's still by far a record for fewest turnovers in as many minutes. In 2008, Rasual Butler had 10 in 875 min. James Jones, 2 years ago, had 21 TO in 1587 min.

Lost in the coverage of last night's game (at least I didn't see it written) was the factthat LeBron James set the NBA record for most points on a June 20th game with 37.He topped Dwyane Wade's previous record of 36 set in 2006.LeBron now has 10 daily highs.Wilt Chamberlain has 75, Michael Jordan has 30, Kobe Bryant has 15no one else has 10.
